openSUSE is a general purpose operating system built on top of the Linux kernel, developed by the community-supported openSUSE Project and sponsored by SUSE.

After Novell acquired SUSE Linux in January 2004, Novell decided to release the SUSE Linux Professional as a 100% open source project called openSUSE but also continue with use of same SUSE Linux Professional as base for SUSE Enterprise Server and SUSE Enterprise Desktop. openSUSE and SUSE Enterprise are developed by openSUSE and SUSE Gmbh, but openSUSE is more loosely developed with less testing before release, where SUSE is tested to greater levels to ensure proper operations before it was released.

Like most Linux distributions, openSUSE includes both a default graphical user interface (GUI) and a command line interface option. During installation, the user may choose among KDE SC, GNOME, LXDE and Xfce GUIs. openSUSE supports thousands of software packages across the full range of Free software / open source development.

openSUSE is fully and freely available for immediate download, and is also sold in a retail box to the general public.

It comes in several editions for the x86 and x86-64 architectures.
